Not sure if still in the NFL but think he is. In truth, I have no problems with Matt because when you talk about giving your all, he did. Got knocked down repeatedly behind a freshman OL and just kept getting back up. Got it rough from fans. I'd say he was one of the most under-appreciated players we ever had.
I recall Gooch saying after Matt was really knocked down big time. A DL player made some snide remark. Matt told him, "I'm still here." Gooch said he had never heard a QB talk smack back at a DL like that before. In my heart, I believe Matt deserved better than what he got while at the UT.
You won't see me posting anything bad about Matt. He ran through the toughest stretch of the schedule and then was not allowed to play the cupcakes. Matt was tough as hell and whether he was effective or not there was no quit in him.
I don't know if he was the victim of bad coaching or what. I always felt like he was talented. His decision making wasn't awful either, he just put a lot of balls in the dirt or nowhere near where a receiver could get to them.
Imagine Worley with a freshmen OL.
I bet Simms would have been a pretty good QB if he had better protection.
Sorry if this has already been posted, but I just noticed this in an interview with Coach Jones by the AJC earlier this week:

That's about 20 lbs of muscle he's put on since the end of the season. He's getting close to Tee's size when he was our QB (not to compare the two yet).
If Dobbs is Huge, then Emmanuel Mosley must be a Colossus. Sure is a lot of Orange-flavored embellishment.... :3cheers:Sorry if this has already been posted, but I just noticed this in an interview with Coach Jones by the AJC earlier this week:
